The descent down the steps can be a bit of a scramble, but it's worth it for the stunning view - especially when the tide is low and the sun is setting. The dirt track is a bit of an adventure, but it's worth the effort to get to this beautiful beach, complete with its gray fine pebbles.

Hidden gem! The 19 km drive over gravel roads makes for an adventure, and the stunning cliffs at the Southern tip of Fuerteventura make it worth the effort. The best time to visit is at low tide, as the popular cave can't be accessed at high tide. The waves are quite a sight to behold, and the lack of crowds make it a great place for a peaceful day by the sea. However, the drive is a bit exhausting, so I wouldn't make the trek again.

We had an amazing time at the beach - it was like having our own private beach once we got past the rocks!

I love beaches that aren't too busy, and the best way to get there is by quad or buggy.

This secluded beach is a great spot to relax, even if you can't go swimming due to the rocks and big waves. The path down is a bit steep, but it's worth it for the tranquil atmosphere.
